These Stocks are the Biggest Pre-Market Movers on Monday

TipRanks has compiled a list of Monday’s biggest pre-market stock movements. 

Mixed market sentiment on consolidation news, macro factors, and other variables seem to have dominated today’s stock market. Using TipRanks’ new Top Stock Gainers/Losers page, we’ve identified the top five pre-market stock movers, as detailed below. 

5 Biggest Movers 

Cloud-based connected planning platform Anaplan, Inc. (PLAN), was the biggest gainer in pre-market trading, as the stock surged 28.29% at the time of writing. The positive sentiment followed the acquisition deal between private-equity firm Thoma Bravo and Anaplan, under which the former will acquire the latter for $10.7 billion in cash.  

Another gainer, Alleghany Corporation (Y) jumped 24.86% in pre-market trading, at last check. The surge in price followed the revelation of the agreement, under which Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.A, BRK.B) will acquire Alleghany in a cash deal valued at $11.6 billion. Alleghany is a provider of property and casualty reinsurance and insurance products in the U.S. and globally. 

Meanwhile, New York-based Nielsen Holdings plc (NLSN) tumbled 17.72% in pre-market trading at the time of writing. The provider of global marketing data collection and analytics services rejected a buyout offer from a private-equity consortium that valued the company at $25.40 per share, raising investors’ anxiety. 

Vacasa, Inc. (VCSA) jumped in pre-market trading, recording gains of around 6.52% at the time of writing. Though the international vacation rental management company has no recent fundamental news to explain the trading frenzy, it seems that upbeat fourth-quarter 2021 results and above-expectation revenue guidance reported last week have kept the positive momentum alive. For Q1 2022, the company expects revenue in the range of $245-$255 million, versus the consensus estimate of $201.7 million. For 2022, revenue is forecast between $1.125 billion and $1.175 billion, above analysts’ expectations of $1.08 billion. 

Canada-based Shopify Inc. (SHOP) completes the list. It moved downward around 9.6% in pre-market trading at the time of writing. This drop followed Friday’s increase of more than 18% in its stock price. Though there is no company-specific news explaining the downtrend, it seems that macro issues have taken over the price of this global ecommerce company.
